2015 Map of Vicksburg East

About this map

Vicksburg National Military Park dominates the northwestern corner of this map, preserving the critical Civil War landscape where the Hills of the Vly meet the river bluffs. This 2015 perspective illustrates the modern suburban expansion of Vicksburg eastward into communities like Beechwood, Lakewood, and Bellemeade. The transportation corridor is anchored by the Kansas City Southern railroad line and major highways that bypass the historic city center, cutting through the headwaters of Hatcher Bayou and Shiloh Cr. Local heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the historic Anshe Chesed Cem and Beulah Cem, while the rural fringes to the east show established settlements such as Culkin and Newmans Grove amidst a network of bayous and creeks.
